Here's the skinny: A fan reached out to the Falcons wide receiver on Twitter, stating that Mercer would beat Duke. White, probably not being serious, responded that if Mercer beat Duke, he would give the person Falcons season tickets.

Following the stunning upset, fans trolled White's account, telling him to pay up. White decided to give the fan tickets to just next season's Falcons-Bears game at the Georgia Dome. Not too long after that, White rescinded on everything, stating that it wasn't a fair bet because the fan didn't offer up something in exchange if Duke won, and even pulled the "Gambling in the NFL is illegal" line. Not surprising, the Twittersphere ripped him to shreds.
